Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

Since last Halloween, Link's perception of Halloween had not been too good. Because after carefully reviewing the plot, he suddenly discovered that Halloween had always been a critical plot point.

For example, during last year's Halloween, Quirrell had planned the event of the troll breaking into Hogwarts.

And the situation this year was even more severe. According to the original plot, this year's Halloween would be the time the Basilisk would be manipulated to carry out its first attack.

Although Link had already changed the ownership of that diary at the root, in theory, that diary should not have had any chance to enter Hogwarts, let alone control the Basilisk Arkam.

But Link always had a bad feeling in his heart, especially since Arkam had still not contacted him until now, this feeling became even stronger.

And along with that, it also made Link have a kind of repulsion toward Halloween.

But no matter how repulsed Link was by Halloween, Hogwarts had still been dressed in its new Halloween attire.

Looking at the newly decorated Great Hall in front of him, with pumpkin lanterns and magical fake bats arranged everywhere, Link let out a deep sigh.

He truly couldn't feel happy right now.

The other Hufflepuffs, however, were quite happy, especially John and the other Hufflepuff Quidditch team members. Today, Cedric, in celebration of Halloween, gave them a day off, which made them overjoyed.

"Link, hurry and eat, didn't you like pumpkin pies the most?" Seeing Link so downcast, Cedric straightforwardly pushed his own share of pumpkin pie in front of Link.

At the same time, John, whose mouth was stuffed with food, also echoed, "Yeah, Link, hurry and eat. There's still a performance by the Weird Sisters later. I love their song A Kelpie's Head the most!"

Hearing that, Link nodded, but his gaze landed on the Gryffindor long table.

There, Harry's figure was not present. According to the original plot, he should be attending the special banquet held by the Hogwarts ghosts right now.

Then, on the way back, he would discover the scene of the Basilisk attack.

Silently praying in his heart that it wouldn't happen, Link then started nibbling on the pumpkin pie in front of him.

This whole situation made even pumpkin pie taste bland. And not long after, the Weird Sisters, whom John had been anticipating, finally appeared in front of everyone.

All at once, the lighting in the entire hall dimmed. At the same time, waves of warm cheers and applause echoed from the crowd below the stage.

They were the most popular wizarding band in Britain these past two years, but Link really felt nothing for them.

After a few songs ended, the Weird Sisters retreated backward and disappeared from everyone's sight.

But the atmosphere in the Great Hall didn't cool down at all, everyone was still screaming and shouting hysterically, as if they wanted to call the Weird Sisters back for another song.

The most exaggerated one was Lockhart.

This guy had already stood up from his seat with a stiff smile, and from the direction he was heading, it seemed he was going backstage to find the Weird Sisters directly.

The banquet in the Great Hall finally ended with Dumbledore's announcement.

Although the students of the four houses were somewhat dissatisfied that the Weird Sisters didn't sing a few more songs, they ultimately followed the prefects out of the hall.

At this moment, Dumbledore was standing with a group of professors behind the podium, seeing everyone off.

Tonight's Halloween banquet was perfect, whether for the students or the professors. So most of their faces still carried smiles.

But mixed among the crowd, Link was completely different from his previously depressed and gloomy state, he became serious and alert.

And this alertness grew stronger the farther the group got from the Great Hall.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a series of sharp screams erupted from the front of the crowd.

This made Cedric and the others in the middle of the group a bit flustered, while Link's heart sank, he forcefully squeezed through the crowd.

When he reached the front, he clearly saw, on the wall standing before everyone, Mrs. Norris was hanging stiffly on a burning torch.

And under the swaying torchlight, a line of scarlet writing, seemingly written in pure blood, was shockingly glaring.

[The Chamber has been opened. Enemies of the Heir, beware!]

"Whoo!~" Link let out a long breath of foul air.

The thing he was most worried about had still happened.

That diary had still entered Hogwarts and had taken control of someone inside, causing the Basilisk Arkam to attack Mrs. Norris.

By this point, Link wasn't as nervous or uneasy as before. He wasn't the type to just complain, since it had already happened, the only thing to do was to find a way to solve it. Thinking this, Link's eyes became firm once again.

And at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Enemies of the Heir, beware! You're next! Mudbloods!"

This sudden shout startled everyone, especially Harry and the others. As the first ones to discover the crime scene, they were already extremely tense, and now they almost jumped in fright.

"It was Draco Malfoy." John, who had caught up, nudged Link and said.

Following the direction he pointed, Link indeed saw Draco, surrounded by a group of Slytherins, grinning ferociously at Harry, as if the words earlier had been aimed directly at him.

"What does 'Mudblood' mean? I feel like he's insulting someone," John continued to ask.

Hearing that, Link and Cedric's expressions both turned a bit ugly.

"You guessed right. He is insulting people," Link said coldly. "So-called 'Mudblood' is a derogatory term used by bloodline supremacists to insult Muggle-born or even half-blood wizards. It's even worse than calling a Black person the N-word."

"That bastard!" John gritted his teeth, and as he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go teach Draco a lesson.

There were quite a few others around with similar reactions, especially on the Gryffindor side.

But before they could take any real action, a striking figure suddenly appeared behind Draco, and slapped the back of his head hard.

"Ah!"

Draco screamed in pain, and then turned around with a vicious expression. But when he saw clearly who was behind him, the fierce look on his face instantly turned into awkwardness.

"Victoria…" Draco muttered.

And Emily coldly said, "Don't let me hear that dirty word come out of your mouth again. Or I'll smash all your teeth in!"
